Yeah, I would have to say, if I could change ANYTHING about the VX, I would make it so the tailgate window could roll down (impossible with donut spare design), and maybe have the forward little windows roll down. The VX (especially mine) gets REALLY FREAKIN HOT in the summer, and a design that was a little more "open air" would have been sweet. The VX 02 would have just been a perfect summer wheeler. Its really too bad it was never made.

The back seat thing is kind of a moot point to me. The VX is not a practicle vehicle for more than 2 passengers. That was obvious from day one. Quite honestly, I think they should have just made it a 2 seater to begin with, and done some more innovative things with the cargo area instead of putting the stupid sardine seats back there. I mean, it does get a little annoying, when I have a guest who would like to ride along, but hey, that is the price I pay to drive such a cool and unique vehicle. If I wanted more practicality, I would not have bought a VX. Furthermore, if you leave the back seats in, you can haul 3-4 people, but guess what, you ain't hauling much else. The cargo area with the seats removed is perfect for a 2 person camping trip. Any more than that, and it gets pretty tight. I say, to hell with the back seats!!

EDIT: I need to buy a second VX so I can chop it and make a summer VX out of it.
